Mukhtar Babayev is named president-in-waiting of UN climate summit to be held in November
You're viewing a single thread.
They're hosting a climate change conference in Azerbaijan? A country that's mainly known for its oil production?
Are the UN even trying to pretend they're acting in our best interest at this point?
There are regional rotation rules, and Russia vetoed every other possible location in the region
So Russia alone can influence the outcome to the point of making the entire conference a laughing stock. Seems like a pretty big fuck up to me.
The whole UN is like that; it functions as a forum to talk, not an effective place to set policy.
So, pointless in this effort then. Cool.
